40 | Francisca Santibanez | The Plants Remember: Ancestral Echoes of Earth’s Medicine
“Plants have never forgotten what it means to be of the Earth.”
Here is an audio version.
A video version can be found below.
Francisca joins us for a deep dive into the intelligence of plants and the remembering they invite. From early childhood encounters with hibiscus to her path as a Vegetalista, she shares how plants have been lifelong allies—guiding her through physical healing, ancestral revelation, and spiritual initiation.
We explore the echoes of Earth’s call—felt by so many today—to consciously rekindle our relationship with the plant nations through herbalism, psychedelic medicine, apprenticing with master plant teachers, and attuning to the subtle ways the land invites us into co-creation. Francisca reflects on ayahuasca’s transformative power, the layered shifts in perception that plants inspire, and how healing is, at its core, a remembering of who we truly are.
